Happy New Year!
Today is Patch Tuesday for January, 2026.
If your Windows 10 computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 then you should either replace your device or use the Windows 10 ESU program to get another year out of it.
Windows 11 25H2 is now available and Windows 11 23H2 and older are no longer supported. Treat Windows 11 25H2 as beta software and wait a few months before upgrading.
macOS 26 Tahoe is now available and macOS 13 Ventura and older are no longer supported. macOS 26 is now stable and it’s important to update to 26.2 to resolve a critical security vulnerability.
There were 1325+ major hacks, and over 305 application updates this month. It’s a relatively small month, with about 3.0 GB of updates for most users.

Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, and X/Twitter have suffered from outages this month.
Internet access throughout Congo-Brazzaville, Finland, Guinea, Iran, Montana, San Francisco, CA, Ukraine, and Venezuela has been blocked our down for extended periods.
Last months updates broke Classic Outlook, VPN access, and Windows Message Queuing (MSMQ).
Microsoft is going to start blocking older, insecure and unsupported hardware from accessing their email platform, Exchange Online.
For all their blather, Apple will be using Google Gemini to power Siri.
Crucial is ending consumer sales. This is going to be bad for computer pricing.
It’s insanely easy to map out human movement within your home (or someone else’s) using your existing Wi-Fi routers.
Let’s Encrypt (the service behind most current website secure certificates) is shortening the expiration term for their certificates. By a lot. It’s almost completely automated so probably not going to be a bit deal.
California has added a privacy tool to request that data brokers remove your information. It uses a third-party precheck service responsible for breaking the Internet several times last year (CloudFlare) and one of the worst privacy violating services out there (login.gov), then requires you to give the California government all of the information about you (name, SSN, date of birth, email address, phone numbers, addresses and so much more) for the state to store so that participating data brokers know what to remove. My opinion: government is the worst of the worst when it comes to getting hacked and exploited, so if you’re concerned about dubious storage of your data, giving it to the state is literally the worst possible option. It might be more work, but it’s better to do it yourself.
Now for the good news:
Google is finally adding an option to remove information about you.
Let’s Get Busy
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Patch Tuesday is relatively small this month. The typical computer should see roughly 3.0 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.
Microsoft released 60 updates to address 115 vulnerabilities in Agere Windows Modem Driver, Azure Connected Machine Agent, Azure Core shared client library for Python, Capability Access Management Service (camsvc), Connected Devices Platform Service (Cdpsvc), Desktop Window Manager, Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM), Graphics Kernel, Host Process for Windows Tasks, Inbox COM Objects, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Word, Printer Association Object, SQL Server, Tablet Windows User Interface (TWINUI) Subsystem, Windows Admin Center, Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock, Windows Client-Side Caching (CSC) Service, Windows Clipboard Server, Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver, Windows Common Log File System Driver, Windows Deployment Services, Windows DWM, Windows Error Reporting, Windows File Explorer, Windows Hello, Windows HTTP.sys, Windows Hyper-V, Windows Installer, Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), Windows Kerberos, Windows Kernel, Windows Kernel Memory, Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers, Windows LDAP – Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), Windows Local Session Manager (LSM), Windows Management Services, Windows Media, Windows Motorola Soft Modem Driver, Windows NDIS, Windows NTFS, Windows NTLM, Windows Remote Assistance, Windows Remote Procedure Call, Windows Remote Procedure Call Interface Definition Language (IDL), Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Secure Boot, Windows Server Update Service, Windows Shell, Windows SMB Server, Windows Telephony Service, Windows TPM, Windows Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) Enclave, Windows WalletService, Windows Win32K – ICOMP, and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
Apple released updates for iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.3, macOS Sequoia 15.7.3, macOS Tahoe 26.2, Safari 26.2, tvOS 26.2, visionOS 26.2, and watchOS 26.2. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.
iOS 26.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

Don’t forget to check your mobile devices, too! Many updates will also apply to your tablet, phone, kindle or television – so check your device-appropriate App Store and install updates.
Important Notes
Everything above this section should be checked by everyone on every computer. Chances are good that close to every single computer you touch will be affected by those updates. This is not the case with the items below, though you should still check each line item below to see if it applies to software you have installed.
The release of macOS Tahoe (26.x) means that macOS Ventura (13.x) and older are no longer supported. If you can not install at least macOS Sonoma (14) on your Mac then you should immediately remove your device from the Internet and use it offline only. It will no longer receive patches or updates and can now no longer be secured.
Windows 10 (all consumer versions) is end of life (EOL). All non-LTS versions of Windows 10 without ESU are now out of support, with the sole alternatives being to upgrade to Windows 11 or enable Extended Service Updates (ESU). If you aren’t sure whether you are using LTS, you aren’t. Enable the ESU now.
The current release of the Windows 11 (v25H2) is very large (30% larger than any previous release) so will take a long time to download on slower connections. Windows 11 pushes you to get the latest Windows 11 release every 12 months and only supports any consumer builds for 24 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process will kill your Internet performance forever. If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information.
Windows 11 is now stable and can be upgraded to if your hardware supports it. If not, switch to Linux (Mint is nice) or replace your computer.
Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed.
It is essential to maintain all the applications you have installed on your computer, but often you can minimize the time investment and the potential for exploitation simply by uninstalling software you do not need or use, reducing the attack surface. This includes “free” applications like Avast, OpenOffice, drivers for hardware you’re not using (like old printers), and games you do not actually play.
Also note that using the applications own “check for updates” function, when available, will best preserve your current settings, and often avoid any crapware that might come with a fresh installer. Use this option if it’s available.
Finally, if you’re sick of doing this all yourself, let me! Call or email me any time, and we can set you up with a SaferPC Subscription and we will install updates each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:
